Turikatuku (?–1827) was a notable New Zealand tribal leader. Of Māori descent, she identified with the Nga Puhi iwi. She and her younger sister, Tangiwhare, became wives of Hongi Hika and she travelled everywhere with him, including a number of skirmishes. For much of her adult life she was completely blind after suffering an inflammation of the eyes. Her daughter Rongo (baptized Hariata) became the wife first of Hone Heke and then of Arama Karaka Pi.[1]References1. ^{{DNZB|title=Turikatuku |first= Angela|last= Ballara|id=1t114 |accessdate=13 May 2016}}
